While I'm at it, here's governors. I'm more likely to be cautious early on (not use safe as much) when it comes to these races.



Republicans: 32 (+5)
Democrats: 18 (-5)

Likely D: CO, IL, MD, NJ, OR, RI
Lean D: CT, ME, MN, NM, VA
Tilt D:
Tilt R: MI, NV
Lean R: AZ, GA, KS, WI
Likely R: FL, IA, TX

I always assume the incumbent runs if they're eligible. This may change some things, especially in New England. By far the most vulnerable incumbent is Laura Kelly, followed by Tony Evers. The best targets for Democrats are Arizona and Georgia, but that's about all that's available for picking.

I think you failed to give Dems MD in your governorship count, which would make it R+4.

Wow. I have Nevada as Tilt D but aside from that this looks quite similar to my map. I have Michigan as the closest state with a 0.4% margin for the GOP.

Dems losing Whitmer would be devastating.  She is one of their future national candidates.

Gut ratings.
By '22 Biden's approvals are still not good and hover maybe a point or two above where they are now.
Chamber is flipped to Republicans, GOP declares massive victory, Dems see it as a very weak rebuke.
I am not confident in AZ and NVs ratings.

As I went through Illinois' new districts, it dawned on me I needed to reevaluate moderately blue-leaning states and areas for a midterm that isn't looking too bright for Dems so far. Given what happened in Virginia and New Jersey as well, I think adds validity that there are going to be blue-leaning areas that will be competitive in 2022.

IL: Safe D ---> Likely D
CO: Likely D --> Lean D

I thought about how Virginia is very similar to Colorado partisan wise and New Jersey is very similar to Illinois in that regard. I had New Jersey as Likely D before Murphy went on to win by only 3 points. I think more prognosticators and "experts" need to think about this as well. In an R-leaning environment, great chance a state like IL is single digits. In red wave, it could even be pretty close (especially for governor). Colorado has D trends that are helping buff the Dems advantage, but you still wouldn't expect Bennet to perform any better than Hickenlooper did over Gardner (which I had as Likely D) given the generic ballot.

Oregon I think is still safe because Wyden has a history of overperforming the topline. Washington I think is just too Dem and not enough areas trending R like Illinois.

I'm also going to reverse two governor ratings I had. CT I had as Lean D and Oregon as Likely D. I think now CT is Likely D and OR is Lean D, given popularity disparities of incumbent governors.

Update: With Baker declining to running for re-election. I have moved that race to safe D. With the GA local elections last night and Abrams jumping in. I moved all statewide races in GA to Toss-up.

Yes, but those are hardly commanding leads for Democrats and I've only rated these races tilt Republican (though WI is more like lean to likely Republican if Johnson doesn't run, I think).

Update on Governors

MA: Per Baker and his lt. not running, it means Democrats are automatically favored to win in this race after two terms of a Republican in a deep blue state. The only reason I'd say it's Likely D is the amount of swing we've seen in the past with MA governor races.

NV: I think Sisolak is actually more vulnerable than Cortez-Masto, given his lackluster approval ratings and the toll pandemic restrictions have had on Nevada's economy which has been hit particularly hard.

PA: Despite talk about a weak Republican bench and Dems getting their "strong recruit" (Shapiro, incumbent AG) I still view this race based on fundamentals, and those look quite good for Republicans. The current incumbent has a <50% approval rating after two terms of occupying the governorship in what is now an R+3 state, not even addressing the national climate. If Republicans fail to win this race, they really should take a look at their state party and ask some tough questions.

IA: Moving to Safe R. She's not even unpopular and the overwhelming R lean of Iowa at this point would make it nearly impossible to defeat her anyway.

I also added 2023 races since 2021 races are done.



Democrats are heavily favored to flip two open-seat deep blue states: MA and MD.

Republicans are favored to flip one open seat purple state: PA.

4 Democratic incumbents are very vulnerable: Kelly (D-KS), Whitmer (D-MI), Sisolak (D-NV), and Evers (D-WI).

4 other incumbents: Kemp (R-GA), Mills (D-ME), Walz (D-MN), and Grisham (D-NM) are all somewhat vulnerable.

The incumbent party is favored to hang on in AZ, OR.

Republicans: 31 (+5, -2 Net: +3)
Democrats: 19

In 2023

Beshear (D-KY) is very vulnerable.

Republicans are heavily favored to flip LA.

Republicans: 33 (+2)
Democrats: 17

Ratings as of New Year's Eve. Remember, precedent is there for Shapiro to get ancestral D support in the face of heated rural turnout.

Here's some Senate margin predictions, 9 months out.

AZ - Republican: 52.5%, Kelly: 47.0%
CO - Bennet: 52%, Republican: 46%
GA - Walker: 52.0%, Warnock: 47.5%
NV - Laxalt: 50%, Cortez-Masto: 46%
NH - Hassan: 49%, Republican: 48%
NC - Republican: 54%, Democrat: 44.5%
PA - Republican: 52.5%, Democrat: 46.5%
WI - Johnson: 53%, Barnes: 45.5%

Some other Likely/Safe races for fun

FL - Rubio: 55%, Democrat: 43.5%
IL - Duckworth: 54.5%, Republican: 44.5%
MD w/Hogan - Democrat: 55%, Hogan: 44%
NY - Schumer: 58%, Republican: 40%
OH - Republican: 56%, Ryan: 43%
WA - Murray: 56%, Republican: 44%

In an R+3-7 environment, the vast majority of traditional toss-up states are not super close, even with Democratic incumbents. The consensus by the pundits and election community I believe is either convinced the environment is not Republican-friendly or infected with wishful thinking once again. Most people based on their predictions expect Republicans to improve maybe 2-4 points from 2020. I'm expecting a 6-12 point improvement.
